    Insight Balanced Risk Engineering Solutions Gaseous Fire Suppression System All businesses are reliant on computer technology in order to survive today. What if there was a fire in the main computer room. Would it put you out of business? Would it impact on sales & profits? If the answer is yes then you need to evaluate computer room and other critical area fire protection measures in order to ensure that they are adequate. What are the consequences to business survival and employee security? We are all too aware of businesses which have had fires and have failed to restart. All commercial premises now use computers and other high tech electronic systems in order to record sales, purchases, financial information, control production, allow communication and facilitate email correspondence - the modern way of conducting business. Gaseous fire suppression systems are particularly applicable for high value risks where a minor fire within a critical area could have serious financial repercussions for the business far beyond the cost of physical damage and lost production. System Operation Types of Gaseous Fire Suppression Systems Gaseous fire suppression system activation can be There are two main types of gaseous fire suppression manual, automatic or auto/manual.

  • Use of Gaseous Suppression Systems in High Air Flow Environments – Phase 1 FINAL REPORT
    Use of Gaseous Suppression Systems in High Air Flow Environments – Phase 1 FINAL REPORT PREPARED BY: Eric Forssell Jensen Hughes Baltimore, MD, USA © September 2015 Fire Protection Research Foundation FIRE PROTECTION RESEARCH FOUNDATION ONE BATTERMARCH PARK | QUINCY, MASSACHUSETTS, USA 02169-7471 E-MAIL: [email protected] | WEB: WWW.NFPA.ORG/FOUNDATION — — Page ii — — FOREWORD Information-technology and telecommunications (IT/telecom) facilities provide critical services in today’s world. From a risk standpoint, the indirect impact of fire loss due to business interruption and loss of critical operations, sometimes geographically very distant from the IT/telecom facility itself, can far outweigh the direct property loss. In the past few years, there have been dramatic changes in the equipment housed in these facilities, which have placed increased demands on HVAC systems. As a result, engineered-airflow containment solutions are being introduced to enhance heat extraction and increase energy efficiency. From the perspective of fire-suppression system design, the use of airflow containment systems creates areas of high-air velocities within an increasingly obstructed equipment space, which could affect the effectiveness of transport of suppression agents throughout the protected volume. Requirements related to use of gaseous-agent fire extinguishing systems in IT/telecom facilities are directly addressed by NFPA 75, Standard for the Fire Protection of Information Technology Equipment, and NFPA 76, Standard for the Fire Protection of Telecommunications Facilities. NFPA 75, 2013 edition, addresses these issues related to gaseous agent systems in several places. 5.6.7 Where aisle containment systems are installed, the existing suppression and detection systems shall be evaluated, modified, and tested as necessary to maintain compliance with the applicable codes and standards.

  • OSHA Fact Sheet: Fire Safety in the Workplace
    FactSheet Fire Safety Employers should train workers about fire hazards in the workplace and about what to do in a fire emergency. If you want your workers to evacuate, you should train them on evacuation procedures. If you expect your workers to use fire fighting equipment, you should provide the appropriate equipment and train workers to use it safely. (See Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910 Subparts E and L; and Part 1926 Subparts C and F.) What actions should employers • Grain Handling – 1910.272 take to help ensure safe evacuations • Ethylene Oxide – 1910.1047 of buildings? • Methylenedianiline – 1910.1050 Every workplace must have enough exits • 1,3 Butadiene – 1910.1051 suitably located to enable everyone to get out of the facility quickly.

  • Recommended Best Practices for Fire Department Training Programs
    Fire Prevention Issue Date: January, 2015 and Control Revision Date: Recommended Best Practices For Fire Department Training Programs 1. Purpose: The NYS Office of Fire Prevention and Control, with input from the Department of Labor’s Public Employees Safety and Health Bureau (PESH) and fire service organizations, has developed a recommended set of “Best Practices” for use by fire departments. The purpose of these “Best Practices” is to assist fire departments in complying with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Regulation 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.156(c)(1), [“§1910.156(c)(1)”]. In New York State this regulation is enforced for firefighters and public employees by t he DOL’s Public Employee Safety and Health Bureau (PESH). This document and guidance herein is not intended to formulate a regulatory mandate nor is the purpose of this document to dictate specific training courses. It is intended to identify “best practices” and core competencies that should be included in all training programs based upon the job duties of individual firefighters. These recommendations should not be considered to be all inclusive of the subject areas necessary to develop a comprehensive training program, but will be useful in developing a training prog ram that meets the intent of OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1910.156(c)(1), [“§1910.156(c)(1)”]. 2. Scope: OSHA Regulation Section 1910.156(c)(1), applies to all fire departments in New York State, and requires that members be provided with training and education commensurate with the duties and functions that such members are expected to perform.
